Re: [Exist-development] ANN: upgrade of webdav interface in Trunk

[Stefan M. <ste...@un...>]

On request some more details on my configuration, could have included 
that in my initial post, I know:

on ubuntu Karmic I mounted with

mount -t davfs http://localhost:8080/exist/webdav/db/ test/

which results in this mount:

http://localhost:8080/exist/webdav/db/ on /home/stefan/test.pr type 
davfs (rw,nosuid,nodev,_netdev)

davfs2 version is 1.4.5-1

as davfs2 caches and delayes some writes I umounted between some tests 
to see if there are some failures. In other cases I just waited some 
time until I was positive that the bufferes must (should) have been flushed.

I tried to put a big xml-only repository there, which apparently works 
alright. Therefore, in the mounted directory I did a:

svn export ~/prog/xmltexts/trunk/xmltexts xmltexts

a bigger rename operation worked as well:

for f in *.xml ; do mv -v $f "anon"$f; done

something more stressful, just to see what happens if we leave XML. 
Apparently this works as well:

find -name "*.xml" -type f -exec shred \{} \;

cating and editing, updating the xmls (the real, not the shredded), 
works as well.


Concerning my failed Nautilus tests (which I wouldn't follow any 
further. I would suggest that whoever really wants to see webdav in 
nautilus working should try to have it fixed it in nautilus, as that 
would, I assume, be more efficient than adjusting every server 
implementation towards nautilus' needs.)

Nautilus version: GNOME nautilus 2.30.1
with gvfs (all related packages, backends etc) version: 1.6.1-0ubuntu1


cheers and thanks,

Stefan
